Land Rover Defender Stage 1 remap in Cornwall by Kernowsport

Land Rover Defender Stage 1 Remap in Cornwall

Job number three today was a special one — this cracking condition 2014 Land Rover Defender travelled all the way from Exeter to see us at Kernowsport after a recommendation from one of our happy customers in Wadebridge. Normally, when we see Land Rovers, they’re working vehicles that have been well used (and often abused!) in commercial settings. But this example was different. Finished in black with a plush leather interior, it was easily one of the nicest Defenders we’ve seen, and it really stood out as a customer vehicle rather than a workhorse. The owner had booked in for a Stage 1 performance remap, and within just 20 minutes, we added an impressive +50 BHP. That’s a gain the owner will definitely feel on the drive back to Exeter, making the Defender more capable both on and off-road.

Peugeot 508 AdBlue delete in Hayle Cornwall by Kernowsport

Peugeot 508 AdBlue Delete in Hayle Cornwall

At Kernowsport, we see a lot of Peugeots with AdBlue problems, but until now we had never had a Peugeot 508 in the workshop. This one was a tidy example and came to us in Hayle after displaying an engine management light, but with no obvious performance issues. After a full diagnostic check using our professional-grade equipment, the fault pointed to the AdBlue system. The decision was made to carry out an AdBlue delete, giving the car a permanent solution and saving the owner from costly repeat repairs. As with many French cars, the ECU write procedure had a few quirks. During the process, the wipers, ABS system, alarm, and various warning lights all kicked into action — it felt a bit like sitting in a Christmas disco while the remap was applied! Thankfully, the job was completed quickly, and the owner was soon back on the road with a smooth-running, fault-free Peugeot 508. Another happy Kernowsport customer in Hayle. Why Peugeot Owners in Cornwall Choose Kernowsport 🚗 Fix Your Peugeot AdBlue Problems in Cornwall If your Peugeot 508, 308, 3008, 5008, or Expert van is suffering from AdBlue, DPF, or EGR issues, Kernowsport can help. 👉 Learn more about

A30 roadworks milling machine in Pool Cornwall with AdBlue fault fixed by Kernowsport

A30 Roadworks Milling Machine AdBlue Fix in Pool Cornwall

Job number five today was an unusual one for Kernowsport. Our friends at Harts Haulage in Pool have the contract to transport and process the road surface from the A30 resurfacing works, which are taking place every night for eight weeks. With more than 30 vehicles and staff on site, the job is a huge logistical operation. At 1:15pm we received an urgent call — the milling machine used to rip up the old road surface had stopped working due to an AdBlue fault. Without it, the entire resurfacing project would grind to a halt. Fortunately, Kernowsport is fully equipped to work not just on cars and vans, but also on HGVs and plant machinery. We headed straight up to Harts Haulage in Pool, removed the ECU from the milling machine, and quickly resolved the issue. A pretty unusual job for us, but we’re proud to have played a small part in keeping the A30 project on track and helping reduce disruption for road users in Cornwall. Why Choose Kernowsport for Plant, HGV and Commercial Vehicles in Cornwall? Whether it’s a Mercedes Sprinter van, a Vauxhall Vivaro, or even a milling machine, Kernowsport has the skills and equipment to keep

Vauxhall Insignia BiTurbo diesel AdBlue fix at Monkey Tree Holiday Park Newquay Cornwall by Kernowsport

Vauxhall Insignia BiTurbo AdBlue Fix in Newquay Cornwall

In what was possibly our last holidaymaker rescue job of the year, we were called to Monkey Tree Holiday Park near Newquay to resolve an AdBlue issue on a rather special car — a Vauxhall Insignia BiTurbo diesel. This wasn’t just any Insignia either. According to its owner, there are only six of these top-spec BiTurbo models in the UK, and all of the owners know each other! Because of its rarity, the Insignia had a slightly unusual setup, with an ACDelco ECU instead of the more common units we usually see. It took a bit of extra time to track down the correct mapping solution, but once we had it, the process was smooth and effective. Not only were we able to permanently resolve the AdBlue countdown problem, but we also supplied the customer with the fixed ECU file so the solution could be shared with the other five owners across the UK. It’s not often that we get the chance to help an entire model range, but there’s always a first time! Another Cornish holiday saved, and another happy Kernowsport customer back on the road with peace of mind. Why Vauxhall Owners in Cornwall Choose Kernowsport If your

Kernowsport mobile ECU service in Redruth Cornwall fixing Land Rover Discovery Sport

Land Rover Discovery Sport AdBlue Fix in Redruth Cornwall

This customer found out the hard way just how serious AdBlue issues can be. Once the countdown starts, it’s only a matter of time before the vehicle becomes disabled and refuses to start unless the fault is properly fixed. After a visit to the local Land Rover dealer, the owner of this Discovery Sport in Redruth was faced with a repair quote that left them shocked. Thankfully, they called Kernowsport instead. We were able to fit the Discovery Sport into our schedule on the way to a job in Newquay, and we quickly resolved its now terminal AdBlue problems. This particular model was the popular 2.0 diesel, and it turned out to be a real pleasure to work on. The fix was straightforward and efficient — something we always like! Even with the Cornish weather blowing a gale, the job was completed an hour quicker than expected. The owner was delighted to have their Land Rover back in full working order without the hefty main dealer bill. Next stop? Newquay, for yet another AdBlue job. Why Land Rover Owners in Cornwall Trust Kernowsport If your Land Rover is showing an AdBlue countdown or warning light, don’t wait until it becomes

Peugeot Boxer L4 box van with AdBlue, DPF and EGR faults repaired in Cornwall by Kernowsport

Peugeot Boxer L4 AdBlue, DPF & EGR Fix in Wadebridge Cornwall

Some jobs really surprise us — and this Peugeot Boxer from Wadebridge was definitely one of them. We work on a huge number of vans across Cornwall, particularly the Fiat Ducato, Citroën Relay, Peugeot Boxer, and Vauxhall Movano platforms. Most of them are L2 or L3 wheelbase models, often converted into motorhomes or campers. This one, however, was completely different. At first glance, we almost mistook it for a Ford Transit Luton — but it turned out to be an L4 Boxer with a full box body. An absolute monster of a van, and one of the first we’ve ever seen in this configuration. Fortunately, our Pool workshop near Redruth is fully equipped to handle even the largest vehicles, and this giant just about squeezed in with room to spare. The owner had booked it in with us to resolve a combination of AdBlue, DPF, and EGR issues, which are very common on these vans. Thankfully, the ECU fitted to this one was fairly standard, making it quick and straightforward for us to work with. Within a short time, we had all faults resolved and the van was back to full health, ready to return to work and keep earning

Citroën Berlingo 2020 with AdBlue and DPF fix at Kernowsport Pool Cornwall

Citroën Berlingo AdBlue & DPF Fix for Penzance Customer in Pool Cornwall

Every now and again we come across vehicles that we just don’t enjoy working on — and the Citroën Berlingo with the 1.5 Stellantis engine is one of them! This particular 2020 model, owned by a customer from Penzance, came to us with some serious AdBlue and DPF issues. The owner had already been to the local main dealer, who not only refused to fix the issue under warranty but also quoted over £3,000 for repairs. Understandably, that wasn’t a viable option. Fortunately, they gave us a call at Kernowsport, and we were able to fit them in the same day at our Pool workshop near Redruth. The 2020 Berlingo turned out to have some very peculiar ECU requirements that aren’t typical of most vehicles we work on. Still, with a little time and some persistence, we were able to get it sorted and back on the road without the eye-watering costs of a dealer visit. This is actually the eighth Stellantis-based vehicle (Citroën, Peugeot, or Vauxhall with the 1.5 engine) that we’ve dealt with recently. It’s fair to say they still aren’t growing on us — but we’ll always find a solution for our customers. Why Citroën & Stellantis

Citroën C4 Cactus with AdBlue fault repaired in St Blazey Cornwall by Kernowsport

Citroën C4 Cactus AdBlue Fix in St Blazey Cornwall

Some vehicles seem to suffer with AdBlue problems more than others, and from our experience, the Citroën C4 and DS4 range are among the worst affected. This job in St Blazey was yet another example — our fourth or fifth Citroën AdBlue callout this month alone. The customer’s C4 Cactus had gone into an AdBlue countdown to no start. Occasionally, drivers report that the warning light disappears for a day or two, but unfortunately this is usually temporary. The fault always returns, and when it does, it often becomes permanent. In this case, the owner rang us back two days later with the countdown warning still active and asked us to step in. Thankfully, the C4 Cactus is one of the more straightforward vehicles for us to work on, and we had it up and running again in under an hour. As a bonus, while we were there, we also used our diagnostic equipment to take a quick look at the owner’s BMW X5, helping to narrow down a fault in its body control module. At Kernowsport, if we can help, we always will. Why Citroën & DS Owners in Cornwall Trust Kernowsport Whether you’re in St Blazey, Bodmin, or

2010 Mercedes Sprinter camper van in Pool Cornwall after DPF fix by Kernowsport

Mercedes Sprinter Camper DPF Fix in Pool Cornwall

Mercedes can often be a challenge when it comes to remapping, and this 2010 Mercedes Sprinter camper conversion was no exception. The Delphi ECU is fairly common but also notorious for being temperamental, taking what feels like forever to read and write. This particular Sprinter was stunning inside thanks to a professional camper conversion, but under the bonnet it was a different story. It was regularly throwing EGR and DPF engine management lights, leaving its owner frustrated. Deciding enough was enough, the owner dropped the vehicle off with us in Pool, near Redruth, before heading off camping for the weekend. Our usual Alientech Kess3 tool wouldn’t read this specific ECU, so we turned to our trusty Magic Motorsport Flex, which made quick work of the job and read it in record time. This is exactly why we invest heavily in a wide range of professional-grade tuning equipment. Where one tool won’t work, another will — ensuring we can provide a solution for almost every vehicle we see. With the DPF issues resolved, this Sprinter is now ready to hit the road again, giving its owner peace of mind and a trouble-free start to the next adventure. Why Choose Kernowsport for

Kernowsport diagnosing injector wiring fault on Hymer camper in Cornwall

Hymer Camper Injector Fix in Pool Cornwall

We don’t often get jobs quite like this one! At 9am sharp on Saturday, we received a call from a couple having trouble with their Hymer camper while on holiday in Cornwall. These motorhomes are usually built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, which makes them pretty standard for us to work on — but this one was a real palace inside. The timing wasn’t ideal, as I was in the queue at Philps Pasties in Hayle, ready to stock up for our friends at Harts Haulage in Pool. But at Kernowsport, helping customers comes first, so I put the pasty run on hold and agreed to meet the customer at the Asda car park nearby. To make things trickier, I was in our VW Caddy work van instead of the usual Ducato service van, so I was hoping I had enough tools with me for the job. On inspection, it turned out the Hymer wasn’t suffering from failed injectors after all — it was a wiring issue. We arranged to drive the camper up to the workshop in Pool, and thankfully it was a straightforward fix without any need for expensive replacement parts. In the spirit of good Cornish hospitality,

Kernowsport performing AdBlue delete on Jaguar F-Pace in Hayle Cornwall

Jaguar F-Pace AdBlue Fix in Hayle Cornwall

Another AdBlue fix, another holiday camp, and another holiday saved! This time, we were called to Atlantic Coast Holiday Park in Hayle to resolve an AdBlue countdown fault on a Jaguar F-Pace. With only 300 miles left on the clock before the vehicle would refuse to start — and a long journey home ahead — it was essential to get the issue sorted quickly. Throughout the summer, we’ve seen many similar callouts, often to holidaymakers across Cornwall. On average, we’ve helped around 60 vehicles a month, ranging from Minis to Maseratis. It’s a lot of work, a lot of miles, and plenty of challenges — but it’s always rewarding to see another customer back on the road stress-free. Even though the holiday season is winding down, AdBlue jobs still make up more than half of our workload, proving how common and frustrating these faults can be. Whether it’s a Jaguar F-Pace, Range Rover Evoque, or VW Crafter camper, Kernowsport is here to keep you moving. Why Choose Kernowsport for AdBlue Fixes in Cornwall?

Kernowsport mobile ECU van working in heavy rain in Cornwall

Citroën DS4 AdBlue Fix in Perranporth Cornwall

This job was a little unusual and highlights how often we’re called out to help holidaymakers in Cornwall. A gentleman from Nottingham rang us in a panic — his daughter had just arrived at a holiday camp in Perranporth with an AdBlue countdown warning on her Citroën DS4, and she had two weeks of holiday left before driving home. At Kernowsport, we know how stressful these situations can be. When possible, we’ll always try to accommodate same-day visits, and that’s exactly what we did here. Despite the worst weather of the year — and getting absolutely soaked in the process — we headed off to Perranporth and successfully resolved the AdBlue issue. The DS4 was back to normal, and the lady could enjoy her holiday without worrying about being stranded. This was actually the second AdBlue delete of the day, and on both occasions the heavens opened, leaving us drenched. Luckily, our Kernowsport van is fully equipped for all-weather conditions, including a diesel heater to keep us warm while working. Why Holidaymakers Trust Kernowsport If you’re visiting Cornwall and your vehicle develops an AdBlue or ECU issue, Kernowsport can help you continue your holiday without stress. Need Help with AdBlue
